I've been suffering from body itching after taking my bath mostly when i used sponge.The itching will last for about 6 minutes and stop.I was told some time ago that am suffering from pheleria(the spelling may not be correct).I went to a doctor a year ago but he could not provide any solution.Can anybody in the house help me out?I don't know if that is what is affecting my eyes as well.My eyes also itches me but occasionally.

stop using the sponge, you may be alergic to it. try changing soaps try using a differnt type of sponge/louffa (made from different materials)

A salt free diet is the best for itch; you can resume salt after you are cured. Take tomatoes and green gram for lunch and bread and green vegetables for dinner. In case green gram is not available, eat germinated gram.
Itching skin may be covered with a light paste of coconut oil and lime juice. That will destroy the germs that cause the itch. Keep away from members of the family, as itch is contagious.

have you been tested for dermititis or any skin infections or diabetes? are you drinking enough fluids durring the day, or is your skin really dry? if really bad try an oatmeal or milk (1 cup to a bathtub of water) soak. |
